Setting up 301 Redirects to fix 404s and forward old links

If you've moved your website to Podpage or changed your site's structure, old links around the web may now hit 404 "page not found" errors. That frustrates visitors and hurts your SEO. A 301 redirect fixes it by permanently forwarding the old URL to the right place — and telling search engines to update their index.

Available on the Pro plan and above.

How to set up a 301 redirect

1. In your dashboard, go to Search Optimization → 301 Redirects.
2. Click New Redirect.
3. In the Old URL Path field, enter the path you want to redirect from. For example, if yourdomain.com/old-broken/missing-link is returning a 404, enter /old-broken/missing-link.
4. In the New path field, enter the destination: a path on your own site like /the-new-link, or a full URL like https://www.othersite.com/the-new-link if it lives on another website.
5. Click Save. The redirect takes effect immediately.
